AI Growth Consultant | Marketing Strategist | Founder of River Spirit Media

Kevin Young is an entrepreneur, marketing strategist, and AI growth consultant born and raised in Hagerstown, MD who helps businesses leverage automation, systems, and artificial intelligence to scale smarter. As the founder of River Spirit Media in Williamsport, MD, Kevin specializes in building custom growth systems for service-based businesses, integrating CRM automation, AI assistants, content systems, and client onboarding frameworks that drive measurable results.

​

Since the early days of ChatGPT’s launch, Kevin has been mastering and implementing AI to streamline workflows, enhance marketing performance, and create smarter business operations. His early adoption and hands-on experimentation have allowed him to stay ahead of trends and develop practical, real-world solutions that help business owners save time, cut costs, and scale efficiently.

​

Before launching River Spirit Media, Kevin built and managed multiple businesses from the ground up. His journey began in the restaurant industry, where he worked his way up from waiter to corporate trainer and manager, developing strong leadership, communication, and business management skills. Later, he transitioned into the diesel industry, where he applied his problem-solving mindset to learn the trade and eventually started his own truck repair business.

​

After leaving his 9–5 mechanic job to start the business, Kevin learned just one month in that his wife was pregnant, adding an unexpected sense of urgency to his mission to succeed. What began as a leap of faith quickly turned into a crash course in entrepreneurship. When his repair service initially struggled to get customers, Kevin drew on the learning and teaching skills he had developed as a corporate trainer and through his college education to master digital marketing on his own. Within a year, his repair business surpassed six figures in revenue.

​

After a lower back injury forced him to leave the diesel industry on his doctor’s advice, Kevin used that setback as an opportunity to reinvent himself. What began as a personal pivot soon became a new calling, helping other business owners grow through the power of marketing, automation, and AI.

​

Today, Kevin continues to work directly with entrepreneurs to build automated marketing and sales infrastructures powered by AI, empowering them to grow with clarity, consistency, and freedom.

​

Outside of work, Kevin enjoys spending time with his family in Hancock, MD, creating content, and exploring new ways to merge AI, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

Kevin studied at Hagerstown Community College, where he served as President of Phi Theta Kappa, the National Honor Society for two-year colleges. He’s also completed numerous professional courses in digital marketing, business automation, and AI strategy.
